Big Almaty Lake

Tour to the Big Almaty Lake – fascinated lake in the mountains

On the height of more than 2500 meters above the sea level, amidst the majestic mountains of Tian Shan, Big Almaty Lake’s transparent surface glitters under the rays of sunshine. Many millions of years ago because of the regular powerful earthquake jolt, the mountains “became weaker” and a beautiful lake appeared in a crack-basin. Every year a lot of people rush to come here in order to view this indescribable beauty. An amazing combination of white "graying" of the mountains, the blinding sun, turquoise water of the lake, and the century-old green pine trees on the background of silence and air intoxicating by its freshness and purity causes a feeling of unreality and detachment.

We offer you to visit the nursery of rare endangered species of birds "Sunkar" which is unique by its species composition and equipment. The nursery is the only one in the whole territory of Kazakhstan and during its activity raised 1060 birds and released 260 falcons Balobans out of the nature. By visiting falcon nursery you can admire the most beautiful birds, learn about their biological characteristics, and more than that, see the falcon show (from May to October). The trained birds take parts in that show and demonstrate hunting with a bird, getting food out of the water and other interesting things. The story about traditions and history of falconry will be told during a spectacular performance with freely flying birds of prey.
